Hotel Berta

Lovely family run easy going hotel. Modern rooms with excellent views of lake Garda. Nice breakfast, perfect location for accessing local towns. Would recommend having a hire car, parking is free and easy.

The location is in the middle of nowhere - 45 minutes walk to the nearest shops/restaurants. The hotel itself was acceptable - the rooms were clean and comfortable. There is a nice pool, although the pool bar was never attended so you couldn't get a drink when you wanted one and when you could you had to move to tables to drink it as you are not allowed to have drinks by the sun loungers - this was quite inconvenient and made us feel as though we were being treated like children who couldn't be trusted. The hotel staff were quite nice, although not exactly warm and helpful, and definitely not multi-lingual. The breakfast was absolutely dreadful - there is definitely a focus on quantity rather than quality, and we didn't dare to sample any of their lunch or dinner options. There is the option to rent bikes from the hotel for a reasonable price, however the tyres were very flat and unfortunately one had a puncture which we didn't discover until it was too late - we had to push/carry the bike back the 45 minute walk from Sirmione. We decided to check out a day early as we weren't enjoying our stay - unfortunately as we had booked through Hotels.com this meant we still had to pay. The hotel paid the municipal tax for us which was nice but nobody bothered to ask why we were checking out early to see if there had been a problem. All in all I would say that if you aren't very fussy, this is the hotel for you - otherwise I'd look for something else!
